I grew up with a Christian family. My mom and my dad have taught me about Christ and what Christ has done in our lives.  I know that he can make me hear again someday if I pray and trust in him.  I read the Bible in the morning before I start my day.  I have Christian friends and family who know about Christ.  I accepted Christ when I was about seven years old.  Jesus helps me everyday when I pray and ask for help. 

 In the year of 2005, I had scoliosis and it was becoming worse, so I went to the hospital to have a back surgery.  I was very nervous and scared about having back surgery.  The night before my surgery Pastor Jay from First Baptist Church came to the hospital to pray for my back surgery and for the Lord to make the surgeons know what to do on my back. Early the next morning, when it was time to go to surgery, my mom asked me, “are you nervous?”  I said no I was not nervous about my surgery.  God had helped me not be nervous.    

When I was in Boy Scouts, I always asked God to help me in everything I did.  I became an Eagle Scout, but some of the things I had to do were very hard for me.  I have disabilities and some merit badges were hard for me to do.  I never gave up because I knew that if I prayed and trusted God He would always help me.  I became an Eagle Scout because God helped me.

I love Jesus and I say thank you to Him for being my Savior.
